The Peterborough Town Library is pleased
to host a “Tribute to the American Revolution” by artist Carolyn Carter
in the library’s Art Corner and Showcase during the month of July.
Carter, of Gardner, Mass., is the library’s exhibit coordinator and
resident artist.
“So many of us take our liberties for
granted,” Carter said, “and somehow through my paintings, drawings,
research, and seeking out the unsung heroes, I found myself wanting to
share my discoveries and adventures with the people and revisit our
heroic past. I created a new painting style which I call the ‘Net
Technique,’ giving another added dimension to the work.”
Carter’s special interest is Shay’s
Rebellion. She has drawn and lectured, and met historians and actors on
this topic. She has met Daniel Shay’s descendants. Her paintings and
drawings are works in progress. Carter’s exhibit is on view during
library hours throughout July – Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10
a.m.-6 p.m.; Tuesday and Thursday, 10 a.m.-8 p.m.; and Saturday 10
a.m.-4 p.m.
